Grenade Art in London presents: Mistermn on the 28th of November

The guys over at Grenade Art gallery in London have another great art show coming up at the end of the month. The exhibition is called Myth & Magic and is presenting MISTERMN's work from the 28 November to the 8 December.

If you haven't yet heard of Mistermn's before here is a little introduction for you, "MN is an emerging graffiti artist from France who has recently been featured in the book Street Art London 2, published in 2007.

The humanity of MN's paintings touch on the divine; their gaze, their gestures and the mystery that surrounds them are signs to be interpreted in order to find the key of the majesty, the dignity and the spirituality of humankind.

The presence of Egyptian goddesses, Antique muses and mythological characters fill the paintings recalling the weight of wisdom, intrinsic and universal truth and the beauty that lies behind a common vision of reality. The purist ethic and the spiritual aesthetic of MN's work are opening a new way for graffiti, expanding the art form by looking both backwards towards the origins of art, and forwards towards the future of art.
